0:00No new X-Men cast , no mysterious movie
0:03coming out in 2027 . But instead , a new
0:06Ghost Rider and a new Black Panther . My
0:09dear Heroes , we have to talk about the
0:12Marvel panel from San Diego Comic-Con
0:142026 . So grab a drink , sit back
0:16comfortably , and let's get started . Yes
0:21, my dear Heroes , San Diego Comic-Con
0:24is coming to an end and the biggest
0:27panel arguably took place last night ,
0:30or for our time , 2:30 AM , or with a
0:32significant delay , 3:00 AM . Kevin Feige
0:36was back in Hall H , the hall at San
0:38Diego Comic-Con where Marvel has always
0:41made its biggest announcements , like ,
0:44for instance , that Blade was getting a
0:46feature film . Yes . Um , that's no longer
0:50happening . And uh now we've naturally
0:52wondered what they'd announce this time
0:54that might not end up happening either .
0:58And let me put it this way : beforehand ,
1:00there was plenty of speculation and
1:02rumors about " we're going to get the
1:04X-Men cast presented , you know , the new
1:06X-Men cast . We're going to get a film
1:10presented that will hit theaters next
1:12year before Secret Wars . And yes , then
1:16it went on to include . We're going to
1:20get the entire next slate for the next
1:22phase . Yeah , basically none of that
1:26happened . Though on that last point , at
1:30least a little bit , because we learned
1:34which three films we can expect from
1:37Marvel Studios in 2028 . But let's
1:40rewind briefly first . So we didn't get
1:43an X-Men cast presented , and we also
1:45didn't get anything presented about
1:47Vision Quest , the series that awaits us
1:50next on Disney Plus and , according to
1:52Kevin Feige , is supposed to basically
1:55represent the conclusion of the Wanda
1:57series . Yeah , we already knew that
1:59before . Let's just wait until Disney
2:01Plus gives us a trailer . Instead ,
2:03thanks to Brandon Davis , we received
2:06literal confirmation from Kevin Feige
2:09that Nova will actually be a film and
2:12not , as was reported in the meantime , a
2:15series . Kevin Feige confirmed it is a
2:18film , but we don't know anything more .
2:21On stage in Hall H , Kevin Feige first
2:23shared a few words about Avengers :
2:26Endgame Encore . A film we basically
2:30already know , which is , however , coming
2:33back to theaters in September with a
2:35few new scenes and presumably a new
2:37post-credits scene . A trailer for it
2:40was apparently shown at San Diego
2:42Comic-Con , but it wasn't released
2:43online . According to descriptions
2:46online , however , no new scenes were
2:48shown there . Um , if you watch the panel
2:50yourself , you quickly realize Kevin
2:52Feige just brushed it off . Yes , we
2:54couldn't show anything back then . Now
2:56we can basically show everything in the
2:58trailer because it's already known , but
3:00because of that , there were no " 19s " in
3:02it . But yes , Anchor is also coming to
3:06German cinemas here in September , and I
3:08would say we should definitely take a
3:10closer look at the box office results ,
3:13because I believe if this film is
3:15somewhat successful , then that could be
3:17a sign that Doomsday will also be a big
3:20success . And yes , Avengers : Doomsday
3:25was of course a topic at San Diego
3:27Comic-Con in Hall H for Marvel , because
3:31it's the next big film , and it was
3:33presented with a huge cast that was
3:36partially there on-site in booths that
3:39were set up . Among others , some old
3:43X-Men were there , but . For example ,
3:46Paul Rudd was there , Letitia Wright was
3:49there , and yes , also Hayley Atwell . It
3:53was never officially confirmed before
3:55that Hayley Atwell would be in Doomsday
3:57. Now they've made up for that . That
4:00was actually to be expected . But it's
4:03not really clear yet which Peggy she
4:06will play . Is she Peggy the wife , the
4:10mother , or is she Peggy the Captain
4:13Carter ? There have been some rumors
4:16about that over the last few years , and
4:19Deadpool was also present , although not
4:21in his typical outfit , but in a kind of
4:23denim look , I would say , a denim fabric
4:26look . Yes , he asked a few questions .
4:29Among other things , he asked the
4:30question , when will filming take place ?
4:33Yes , it had already been filmed , and he
4:35also asked about reshoots and things
4:37like that , whether he could still join
4:40in . And no . However , one has to say
5:10that it could have been a nice hint
5:12that Deadpool is in the film after all .
5:16At the latest in Secret Wars or in some
5:18end-credits scene , he will probably
5:20appear somehow . It is clear by now that
5:23there will definitely be another
5:24Deadpool film . Ryan Reynolds officially
5:28confirmed that again a few days ago .
5:31But yes , Deadpool was present , did
5:34typical Deadpool things , and then a
5:36trailer was indeed shown . However , it
5:40is not online , and it will supposedly
5:42take a while until the material that
5:44was shown there comes online . However ,
5:47there are of course descriptions , and
5:49I'll just read those to you now . The
5:51trailer begins with Victor Von Doom
5:53sitting on a throne , while Vanessa
5:55Kirby's Sue Storm explains how broken
5:58he is as a person . Victor was always
6:00the smartest one in the room . He used
6:03to be different , she says grimly . It is
6:06obvious that she and the other members
6:09of the Fantastic Four , especially Pedro
6:11Pascal's Reed Richards , already know
6:13Doom and share a complicated past with
6:16him . Everything he loved was taken from
6:19him , she explains . Which confirms to us
6:23that this Dr. Doom must really be the
6:25one from Earth - 828 , that is , the Earth
6:28of the Fantastic Four , where I still
6:30assume Steve Rogers is as well . There
6:34are tons of theories about that . But
6:37one has to say : The funny thing is , the
6:39Russo brothers and the writers of
6:41Avengers : Endgame at the time had
6:43different thoughts on how Steve Rogers
6:46' time travel works — whether he really
6:48created a new timeline , as actually
6:50established , or if he is simply living
6:53in the past , which , according to what
6:55we were told before , makes no sense ,
6:57even with what was told later in Loki .
7:00We'll have to wait and see . I think
7:02Encore will provide us with some
7:04answers there as well . Furthermore , it
7:05says regarding the trailer . The trailer
7:08is packed with short clips of the
7:10numerous actors , including Thor ,
7:12Captain America , Black Panther ,
7:14Shang-Chi , Shuri , Loki , Cyclops ,
7:17Magneto , Gambit , and many more . You see
7:21a ruined city of New York left in
7:23rubble and ashes , and Pedro Pascal's
7:25Reed Richards asks if Victor is
7:26responsible for the carnage .
7:30Furthermore , we hear Doom say , you all
7:32have lived stolen lives . Thor confronts
7:35Doom , but the villain catches his
7:37magical hammer and tosses it aside
7:39effortlessly . Doom uses his magical
7:43powers to blast Thor away and summons
7:45an army of Sentinel robots , the iconic
7:48androids from the X-Men films , from the
7:51ground . And yes , that also tells us
7:54quite a bit . For one , that Doom likely
7:57means with his line , you all have lived
8:00stolen lives : " Hey , you shouldn't have
8:03existed like this , and because of you ,
8:06others are now dead . " And with that , he
8:10is of course addressing the Incursions ,
8:13meaning that worlds are colliding here ,
8:15and we know it's likely 828 , 105 , and ,
8:18of course , 616 . And the other thing
8:21being built up here are the Sentinels .
8:23We had already seen in the very first
8:25X-Men teaser from last year that a
8:27Sentinel was running in the background .
8:29And that could probably mean that this
8:32battle with the Sentinels and the X-Men
8:35only happens in collaboration with the
8:38Avengers . Meaning , the Avengers meet
8:41the X-Men , fight each other , and then
8:43they possibly only fight the Sentinels
8:45afterwards and not before . I could at
8:48least imagine that , but yes , that's
8:51what the trailer likely showed and said
8:53, and I find it interesting that a new
8:56trailer was shown again here , though I
8:59sort of expected it , since we were all
9:02surprised at the beginning of the week
9:05when it was suddenly said : " Hey , the
9:07trailer for Doomsday is out . " I did
9:10both a reaction for that and a theory
9:12video about Steve Rogers afterward .
9:14Feel free to check those out again ;
9:15I'll link them for you at the end in
9:16the end card . Um , and that really
9:18raises the question , what are they
9:20going to announce to us here in Hall H
9:22if they've already shown the trailer ?
9:24Now they just showed another trailer .
9:26And before we get to the other two
9:29projects mentioned , let's briefly
9:31address this here . This here is a witch
9:36from Latveria , the land of Doom . And
9:41what's interesting here is that this
9:44costume mannequin was apparently at the
9:47Marvel booth and has supposedly changed
9:49its costume every day so far ,
9:52specifically the color , and once again ,
9:55interestingly , in the color scheme that
9:57we already know from the MCU , namely
10:00through the Infinity Stones , which have
10:03also recently been reflected in the
10:06world of witches . In other words ,
10:08whether it's Wanda , whether it's Agatha
10:10, they all basically have different
10:14magic colors . And so far , they haven't
10:18unraveled for us what exactly is behind
10:20it , or what the connection is , but they
10:22obviously mirror the typical color
10:24scheme . And that could mean that Doom
10:27surrounds himself with different
10:29witches . And yes , theoretically it is
10:32therefore possible that perhaps even a
10:35variant of Agatha , or even the Agatha
10:38we know , or perhaps a Scarlet Witch ,
10:41could be one of these , well ,
10:43essentially Doom witches . We'll have to
10:46wait and see . Feel free to write your
10:47thoughts in the comments , but yes ,
10:49let's move on . As part of the panel ,
10:51Jon Bernthal also appeared to do a bit
10:53of promotion for the brand-new
10:55Daredevil starting next week . A little
10:57bit of footage was apparently shown
10:59there as well . That didn't go online ,
11:00but I don't think that's a big deal .
11:02However , I do find it interesting that
11:04Marvel did a great deal of advertising
11:07for it , because usually Sony is
11:08responsible for that , but yes , it's
11:10happening next week anyway , so we'll
11:13all be going to see it . By the way , on
11:15Tuesday , the review for the film will
11:17be here on Filmflash , and yes , with
11:19that , we come to the two biggest
11:21announcements from the Marvel panel .
11:24The first is that we are actually
11:27getting Ghost Rider in the MCU ,
11:29specifically in the form of Ryan
11:31Gosling . You might have heard about it ,
11:34or maybe you haven't . Josh Horowitz , a
11:37host for MTV and his own podcast Happy
11:40Sad Confused , has brought up the topic
11:43of Ghost Rider every now and then over
11:45the past few years and that Ryan
11:47Gosling would like to play Ghost Rider .
12:05Unbelievable . Boy , that's a bad omen .
12:07That is a bad omen . Oh man . See , you
12:09told me Ghost Rider was the character
12:11you wanted to play . I spoke to Kevin
12:13Feige . You know this , you saw this . Did
12:15I help you out ? What a magical moment ?
12:17I told Josh I’d like to play Ghost
12:19Rider . You spoke to Kevin Feige and
12:21then he found Kevin Feige , corners him .
12:24Does an interview with him where he
12:26says I would like this . All the lights
12:27go off . That's amazing . I'd love to
12:32find a place in the MCU . That's the
12:34power of or the power of no , I have no
12:37power . The combined power , was there
12:40any movement ? Have I made any magic
12:42happen ? Do you remember , Josh , when you
12:45asked me about Ryan being in a
12:46superhero movie and I said no , he would
12:48never do it ? You did . You said Josh
12:50always asked me and I told him you
12:51would never do it . You know , your
12:55friend here , we wear it as a badge of
12:56honor that we don't do superhero movies
12:58. No , you do . Would you like to take
13:00this moment to finally formally
13:01announce that you're Ghost Rider , Ryan ?
13:03What ? You know , I tried to make this
13:04happen for you .
13:15And yes , they picked up on exactly this
13:17take at the panel and announced that
13:19Ghost Rider is getting a feature film
13:22and Ryan Gosling is playing him . He has
13:25wanted to play this role for a long
13:27time , now he gets to , and in doing so ,
13:29he is essentially following in the
13:30footsteps of Nicolas Cage and Gabriel
13:32Luna . The latter played him most
13:34recently in the series Agents of
13:36S.H.I.E.L.D. and was actually supposed
13:37to get his own series on Hulu . But then
13:40Marvel Studios absorbed Marvel
13:42Television and immediately canceled the
13:44project because Kevin Feige wanted to
13:46bring a Ghost Rider to the big screen
13:48himself and decided to start from
13:50scratch , which is what he is doing now
13:52with Ryan Gosling . Which is actually
13:55super funny , because his wife Eva
13:57Mendes was the love interest of Nicolas
14:00Cage back in the day . We'll see if she
14:02maybe has an appearance . But we already
14:05know at least a little more about this
14:07film , namely that the film arrives in
14:102028 and we know that Shawn Levy will
14:12direct it . That is the director behind
14:16The Adam Project as well as , of course ,
14:18Deadpool & Wolverine , which is why he
14:19explained it on stage in Hall H just
14:21now . Guys , I'm just remembering . I’m
14:23having a huge flashback to two years
14:25and two days ago , when we presented
14:27Deadpool & Wolverine to you all here . And
14:30yes , the man has already worked with
14:32Ryan Gosling recently , as they filmed
14:34Star Fighter together , the new Star
14:36Wars film coming to theaters next year .
14:38Meaning they already know how to work
14:40together , and that apparently convinced
14:42Kevin Feige as well . Because Kevin
14:43Feige was apparently already able to
14:45see the film , at least an early version
14:47, and was thrilled . And I think that ,
14:49above all , the collaboration through
14:51Deadpool & Wolverine with Shawn Levy led
14:52to him saying : " Okay , come on , we’ll
14:54take you . " But Shawn Levy also
14:57explained on stage that he had Ryan
14:59Gosling pitch him his vision of Ghost
15:01Rider , and then they just started
15:03writing , and yes , that apparently
15:05reached Kevin Feige and impressed him .
15:09It says everywhere on the internet now
15:11that Jonathan Tropper is supposedly
15:13writing the script . I haven't been able
15:17to verify that yet , but it would make
15:19sense because he also wrote Star
15:21Fighter , and they make sense in this
15:23three-man combo when you say : " Okay ,
15:25the Star Fighter team is now making
15:27this new Ghost Rider film . " And it must
15:32be far along in development if they
15:34want to film by next year at the latest
15:36, since 2028 is really not that far
15:38away . But yes , that means we are
15:40getting Ghost Rider . And the
15:42interesting thing here is : There have
15:45been rumors for ages that a Midnight
15:47Suns film is in the works . That is a
15:51group basically like the Avengers , just
15:53from the mystical department . People
15:57recently assumed that Kevin Feige would
15:59bring this film to finally introduce
16:00Blade , bring back Black Knight , and
16:02also bring back Moon Knight . But this
16:05film was not announced just now .
16:07Doesn't mean the film isn't coming
16:08anyway . Maybe it's just still in
16:11development and is then planned for
16:132029 , but yes , it wasn't announced . And
16:17basically , this Ghost Rider
16:19announcement feels like it’s the
16:21replacement for Blade , after they
16:24announced Blade 7 years ago in 2019 . It
16:28feels a bit like that and I just hope
16:30that Ghost Rider gets released . I am
16:32definitely very excited about Ryan
16:34Gosling's performance . I think , um , he
16:36has lost his one-face trick , uh . Since
16:39his outstanding performance in Barbie
16:42or even The Nice Guys , he showed what
16:44he is capable of , and I am really
16:46excited to see him as Ghost Rider . I am
16:49very curious about the story , but it is
16:52definitely interesting to get a first
16:54real major theatrical project from
16:57Marvel's mystical department . Sure , one
17:01might immediately mention Dr. Strange ,
17:04but presenting a Ghost Rider is
17:06something else entirely , and who knows ,
17:09maybe a certain Sacha Baron Cohen might
17:12reappear , whom we already saw in
17:14Ironheart . So yes , Ryan Gosling is
17:16becoming the Ghost Rider as early as
17:182028 . You can call me .
17:27And moving on to Black Panther 3 . We
17:30have known for a long time that a third
17:33Black Panther film was coming , partly
17:35because Ryan Coogler confirmed it
17:37himself . The director of the previous
17:40Black Panther films explained ages ago
17:42that he plans to make a third part ,
17:44especially after Denzel Washington let
17:46it slip that he had been approached for
17:48this third installment . Now it has been
17:52officially confirmed that this new
17:55Black Panther film is written by Ryan
17:58Coogler , directed by Ryan Coogler , and
18:01that Shuri and M'Baku will return in
18:03this film . And that is in the US
18:06starting on the 15th . Of December 2028
18:10in theaters . That means there will be
18:13no Avengers film released in December
18:152028 . It is Black Panther 3 . And this
18:19Black Panther 3 introduces us to a new
18:22Black Panther , after Shuri wore the
18:25mask in Black Panther 2 as well as in
18:28Doomsday , and perhaps in Secret Wars ,
18:31someone new will take over in the new
18:34Black Panther film .
18:40The actor who recently impressed in
18:42Longlegs as well as in Alien : Romulus .
18:45He will be Black Panther in Black
18:47Panther 3 . Whether Shuri will still
18:51wear a costume remains to be seen .
18:54Above all , it remains to be seen how
18:56they will tell us this and how it all
18:58fits together . Because it is now
19:02officially confirmed , David Jonsson
19:04will not play T'Challa , the character
19:07of Chadwick Boseman , but his son ,
19:10T'Challa Junior , whom we saw at the end
19:13of Wakanda Forever . And yes , that
19:16naturally raises the question , how can
19:18that be ? He was just a little kid back
19:21then , and even if a few years have
19:22passed , David Jonsson is too old for
19:24that . David Jonsson is in fact exactly
19:26the same age as Letitia Wright . They
19:28are both 32 years old . Ergo , something
19:31does not add up there . Which likely
19:34means for us that a new Earth - 616 will
19:36be formed at the end of Secret Wars .
19:39According to Kevin Feige , it won't be a
19:42reboot , and the timeline will likely
19:44shift a bit , which would make T'Challa
19:47Junior a little bit older . We have to
19:52wait and see what they've come up with .
19:55But yes , they probably won't try to
19:57explain to us that Shuri is that much
19:59older than her nephew . That just
20:02doesn't add up . We'll have to wait and
20:04see how they tell that story . But yes ,
20:07David Jonsson is officially the new
20:09Black Panther , and while he's 8 cm
20:12shorter than Chadwick Boseman , he
20:14clearly has a great deal of respect . If
20:17you watch the panel — I’ve linked it
20:20for you in the video description below
20:22— you can tell he knows whose
20:23footsteps he's following in , and he
20:25seems determined to fill them properly .
20:28I would say that in Alien : Romulus and
20:30Longlegs , he proved he has that
20:31emotional range that Chadwick Boseman
20:33had . Personally , though , I still have
20:36to say that Marvel missed an
20:38opportunity by not casting Idris Elba
20:40as the new Black Panther . Something
20:42that has been discussed over and over
20:44again for months . Maybe we’ll still
20:46see him in Secret Wars as a variant ,
20:48but it doesn't look like he's going to
20:50be the one , which I find a real shame
20:52because I believe Idris Elba would have
20:54been a top candidate . It's possible , of
20:57course , that they just couldn't make it
20:58work during negotiations . It's a bit
21:00like the situation with Adam Driver .
21:01Kevin Feige recently confirmed that
21:02there had been ongoing talks to bring
21:04him into the MCU . In the end , he kept
21:06turning them down . So Black Panther 3
21:09launches in 2028 , and that basically
21:11brings us to the three films releasing
21:14in 2028 . We already knew that three
21:17Marvel films were supposed to be
21:19released in 2028 , possibly even a Sony
21:22film as well . May , July , and December
21:27were already set as release months .
21:30December is now taken by Black Panther
21:323 . The other two will be occupied by
21:36X-Men from Jake Schreier and Ghost
21:39Rider with Ryan Gosling . And X-Men will
21:42likely get the May slot , and Ghost
21:44Rider will get the July slot . Why ?
21:47Because Kevin Feige explained at the
21:49Chinese Comic-Con that after Avengers :
21:51Secret Wars , X-Men is coming —
21:52specifically Jake Schreier’s — and
21:54that will be in May , while July will
21:56feature Ghost Rider . So , now we know
21:59which three films to expect in 2028 .
22:02However , this also means Shang-Chi
22:04won't appear before 2029 , Doctor
22:06Strange 3 won't appear before 2029 , and
22:08everything else that could be continued
22:10won't be coming any earlier than that
22:13either . I’m hoping for Shang-Chi in
22:172029 , for Doctor Strange 3 , and I’m
22:20also hoping for Midnight Suns . It's
22:24possible that it could be the Nova film
22:26, since it's currently in a new stage
22:27of development . Michael Woodron is
22:29writing the screenplay , after all .
22:31Theoretically , that film could also be
22:33coming . I do hope , however , that they
22:36approach the new phase better . Kevin
22:39Feige confirmed there will be no reboot
22:41. They are basing it on the 2015 Secret
22:45Wars comic , which means there might be
22:48small changes , but most things will
22:50remain , and we will definitely have to
22:53see if Kevin Feige manages to build a
22:56sensible world again this time . They
22:59have a plan up to 2042 , he said .
23:02Whether all of that will be implemented
23:03remains to be seen . But I just hope
23:06they don't bombard us with 10,000
23:09characters again , but instead try to
23:12build up individual main characters
23:15again who can then carry a heavy load .
23:20I hope Nova will effectively be the new
23:22Guardians line , the galactic one , where
23:25maybe Captain Marvel will also reappear
23:27. I hope for the mystical side , that
23:29they start with Ghost Rider now . Then
23:31perhaps there will be Black Knight and
23:34Blade , or a Doctor Strange film , and
23:36then a group film with Midnight Sons ,
23:39and yes , then they can bring back the
23:41Avengers every now and then , which will
23:44already include parts of the new
23:46Avengers . So , among others , things like
23:48Ms. Marvel , for example . We'll have to
23:50wait and see here ; there are so many
23:52characters in the MCU now , we really
23:53need to let some people die . I
23:55definitely hope Thor survives . There
23:57were rumors that Thor is supposed to
23:59get another film . I hope that after
24:01Secret Wars , they just give him a new
24:02Asgard where he becomes king , where he
24:04doesn't have to make any more films for
24:06the next few years , perhaps after a
24:08fifth installment , but still continues
24:09to exist . I would find it a shame if
24:11they wrote him out . I think we should
24:13keep a few pillars from the earlier
24:15world , and Thor is simply perfect for
24:17that . With that , we are definitely done
24:18. That was the news from the San Diego
24:20Comic-Con regarding Marvel . Tomorrow ,
24:22of course , there will be the film news
24:23again . If you haven't seen my reaction
24:25to the trailer yet , then click here ,
24:27and here you can also find my theory on
24:29Steve Rogers , of course .
